Answer 1

The acids in plaque dissolve the enamel surface of the tooth and create holes in the tooth (cavities). Cavities are usually painless until they grow very large inside the tooth and destroy the nerve and blood vessels in the tooth. If left untreated, a tooth abscess can develop. Untreated tooth decay also destroys the internal structures of the tooth (pulp) and ultimately causes the loss of the tooth.
In filling teeth, the decayed material is removed (by drilling) and replaced with a restorative material such as silver alloy, gold, porcelain, or composite resin. Porcelain and composite resin more closely match the natural tooth appearance, and may be preferred for front teeth. Many dentists consider silver amalgam (alloy) and gold as stronger, and these materials are often used on back teeth. There is a trend to use high strength composite resin in the back teeth as well.
Treatment often preserves the tooth. Early treatment is less painful and less expensive than treatment of extensive decay. Anesthetics -- local (novacaine), nitrous oxide (laughing gas), or other prescription medications -- may be required in some cases to relieve pain during or following drilling or other treatment of decayed teeth. For those who fear dental treatment, nitrous oxide in combination with anesthesia may be preferred.

Answer 2

I was raised in a town where we did not have flouridated water thus every one had cavities. My dentist said it was one of the best places for a new dentist to start a business because it made everyones teeth rot. So it doesnt all have to do with how well you take care of your teeth. I brush, floss and see the dentist on a regular basis,

Answer 3

eating without brushing the food debris ,will cause acidity in the mouth '' low ph'' ,and infront of this acidity our teeth can not survive so it starts to develop cavities.
if the cavity in the superfecial layers there will be no pain but as soon as it gets more and more deeper to the vital sensitive layers it will be painfull.
this pain either associated with some factors and lasts for a few mins which propably reversible pulp inflammation'' usually treated by simple filling''
or continuous pain which is irreversible pulp inflammation''this is usually treated by root canal thearpy''
